A gamete, also called a sex cell, is a haploid cell that participates in fertilization by fusing with another haploid cell.
n. Haploid.
A somatic, or body, cell is always, or at least typically, DIPLOID. Haploid cells which result from the process called Meiosis are "gametic", or germ, or sex, cells.
Its a haploid .
Oocyte
Fifty percent chromosomes from a diploid cell are put into a haploid sex cell. This is achieved by meiosis.
There are 23 haploid chromosomes in a normal human gamete (sex cell).
The male sex cell that results from meiosis is called a sperm cell. It is haploid, meaning it contains half the number of chromosomes as a regular body cell.
Meiosis is the process by which haploid sex cells (sperm and egg cells) are produced. During meiosis, a single diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to generate four haploid cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.
A zygote is diploid, it is formed by the union of a male sex cell (a sperm) and a female sex cell (an ovum) both of which are haploid.
Yes, sex cells are haploid meaning they have half the complement of DNA that a somatic cell would have.
Haploid sex cells formed in the female reproductive organs are called ova (or eggs). Ova are produced through a process called oogenesis in the ovaries. They are released during ovulation and can be fertilized by a sperm cell to form a zygote.
